The All New Megathread

Sounds rather more serious than mine. Job I'm on at the moment is mentally quite fatiguing but not physically active enough to tire me out bodily.

Having said that, it's 8.30 and I'm sitting here fighting to stay awake!

As the team leader, I have both the metal side of dealing with things & the physical side.

As I said in another thread, sometimes I wish I had a routine Monday to Friday job.

Wasn't helped when I got up at 6 this morning, only to find it was 5

Still 7 hours kip is better than 2.5

If you want to know real tiredness work on rotating three shift pattern in a noisy factory making just in time parts for the motor industry 6 days a week.... with penalty clauses of around £250,000 per hour if you stopped any of the car makers production line because you could not supply parts. Even if you had just done a week of night shift ( because our department were robot technicians ) you were often expected to turn up sometime over the weekend to move robot cells or production machinery around and reprogram it. Added to that because the carpark was only big enough for about 2/3 of the employees and some spaces were reserved for 'staff' who came in at 8 or 9 in the morning, if you were on early shift which started at 5-30 you had to be there well before 5am every day of that week to get on the carpark, which meant getting up soon after 4 am. Lasted 5 years in that job before getting a 'day job' as engineering manager in a massive automated order picking warehouse, still stressful and sometimes did not get back home till after midnight after starting work at 7-30am ( plus an hours drive to get there) - ah bliss !!!!

Count you blessings...........

Added to that we lived in a cardboard box under a railway bridge.........

And didn't have the money for a cup of cold tea in a cracked cup with a damp cloth underneath
